msnbc.msn.com posted an article Wednesday night after the House of Representatives passed Obama's stimulus plan of more spending and tax cuts. The hearing was not surprising. All Republicans opposed while most Democrats agreed, 244-188. The article was well written although it was biased at some moments. The economy was described as "badly ailing" and as "the worst economic crisis since The Great Depression." Though this statements are true, some may look at these descriptions as a bit extreme. Personally, I do not but some may.
The article interviews some Republicans, at least giving them a voice in the more liberal news site. Meanwhile, foxnews.com only interviewed Republicans. They claimed the pass as a "victory for Obama." It sounds like a competition instead of a decision. It's viewed as two teams facing off instead of a political meeting. This article even praised Rep. Bartlett for "standing up to Obama in the meeting."
Both sources seem biased but Fox News seems more blatant. MSNBC is more subtle in their political views.
